The Culture

• Aurea runs on agency and ambition. Residents are scientists, engineers, and founders chasing genuine breakthroughs — not incremental ones. Come with something that matters.

• The house sits at the intersection of the global AI ecosystem, the European startup scene, and cutting-edge research communities. The network here spans continents and disciplines.

How to Treat the Space

• This is someone's home and someone's research environment. Treat it with the same respect you'd want for your own workspace.

• Keep shared spaces clean and functional because everyone here is trying to focus and output.

• The house values agency, ambition, thoughtfulness, and kindness equally. All four are expected.

Making the Most of Your Stay

• Share what you're working on early. Aurea's best collabs happen when people understand the depth of what you're building.

• Engage with the research and startup communities around you. Berlin's ecosystem is an extension of the house.

• Be generous with your knowledge + network. The culture at Aurea compounds when everyone gives as much as they take.
